CUE's International Ambassadors

Khulan Khashbaatar, a CUE student from Mongolia:

I like it so much. And I can whole-heartedly recommend studying in Poland to others. Even if you hesitate or are not sure, try it. I don't regret it at all. I feel that I am developing myself and that I will be able to take the acquired knowledge with me to Mongolia one day, to work for the state and diplomacy there.

Linda and Promise Akabudu, CUE students from Nigeria:

Honestly, we just wanted to continue our studies in Europe. We considered the costs, quality of education and the destination, and we came to the conclusion that Poland would be the best choice. We compared several academic rankings and decided on the CUE.

So far it's been great. We are very pleased with the classes and our professors. I am also happy that the university staff mostly have no problem communicating in English, which makes many things easier.

That's true. On that issue, we have found the university to be very friendly towards international students. We are also lucky to study with many expats, which means that there are no communication barriers among us.

Andrii Zaitsev, a CUE student from Ukraine
After my first visit to campus, I knew I wanted to stay here longer. I was entranced by the beautiful historic buildings, as well as the more modern part of the university. Additionally, I can now say, from a logistical point of view, that the location and functioning of the university are outstanding. I have everything in one place, in the city centre, with very good access and all in beautiful historic surroundings. This significantly enhances my comfort of studying.

Kudzai Chigubu, a CUE student from Zimbabwe
I would say that CUE has definitely been a good choice. It is one of the best universities in Krakow, with many opportunities waiting for you. Of course, it can be a bit scary and daunting at first, especially when coming from a distant country, but after a while everything turns out fine. As it was in my case. Let my message be that sometimes you have to get out of your comfort zone to feel true satisfaction.
